evos tarts on july 12th lol, ceo is today. i'm going to be in vegas that weekend too but 99% chance i'm not even gonna check out evo.
Speaking of Killer Instinct, weren't we supposed to hear more about it at EVO? EVO ends today....
When I refer to bonded pairs, I am referring to their long promised and allegedly(atleast in DFW) soon to be available bandwidth update, with 24/3 going to 30/3 and a higher 45/5 offered. With later updates(with the us of vectoring) to 75/10. All while most of their competitors already offer over 100+/15+ and can expand with even faster speeds, while AT&T is going to max out their capabilities on their copper last mile at about ~100/25 if they ever even get that far.
As for being cheaper its marginally cheaper than FIOS, but fios is way faster 75/35 vs 24/3, and that is not taking into account Uverse's IPTV bandwidth usage which can drop 24/3 to as low as 6mbps. That said if you also have AT&T wireless Uverse can be substantially cheaper.

am i blind or does it not say anything about him being canned?
that guy came off as a total dbag though.
at that level, you are always "allowed" to leave. but after last month's shit storm, his decision to leave for another company, was not his idea.

It is blogging at it's best. "Oh, we heard a rumor and haven't obtained any real information about it, but here is our opinion on said rumor as if it was fact!"
yeah but neither of them have anything to do with him being let go or forced out the door. i'm not saying it didn't happen, i was just curious if it was fact or speculation at this point. i definitely would NOT be surprised if he was forced out because he was a total dick and basically made it sound like ms doesn't care about a huge portion of the current gamers out there. he also told people to not buy an xbox1 and get an xbox360 instead lol. pretty stupid thing to say when trying to promote the xbox1.
I agree, but you will never know. That high up on the ladder, they cover that shit up. They don't want to shine a light on internal turmoil.
My companies new favorite thing to do is not even tell you people were let go or left. People just disappear. and management can't say anything about it when you ask them, their actual policy is that people will talk and it will eventually be known, w/o management saying anything (even though those people are not supposed to say anything about the reasons they were let go). WTF? Corporate America is retarded.
Care to put what it is about for those of us that can pull up twitter at work?
Don Mattrick leaving? If I still worked at Rare that would've made my day

Phil started working for Rare directly after graduating from University in 1996 and worked there until leaving to setup Nyamyam. He began work as a software engineer on Diddy Kong Racing (Nintendo 64), before taking on the lead engineer duties for his following projects Starfox Adventures (GameCube) and Kameo (Xbox 360). Phil’s skillset spans the spectrum from engine programming to gameplay programming. Gameplay eventually became his specialty, which resulted in him taking on a new company-wide position as Director of Gameplay for Rare in 2009. His first title following that was Kinect Sports for Microsoft’s Kinect.
yeah, that is a dumb policy and only leads to rumors and gossip.
My old job would just send out a generic email that said:
"So and So is no longer with the company, please update your address books"
The only way we find out is through gossip. Once someone does not see said employee at their desk any more, that's how it starts. If you ask managers they will say yeah they are no longer with us. This is mainly to keep the "we don't fire people like other companies have in a long time" structure and mindset among employees and clients.
